About Me
I am a backend developer with over 3 years of commercial experience building scalable systems and working with complex codebases. I specialize in clean, testable PHP development, layered architecture, and integrating third-party services.
I have worked on large-scale corporate platforms, where I maintained and improved system stability, designed new modules, and helped ensure uninterrupted operations. I also contributed to architecture design and implemented solutions that improved scalability and product reliability.
My experience includes building and maintaining APIs, implementing unit and integration tests, and applying TDD practices to improve code quality and reduce production issues. I am comfortable working in agile environments and collaborating with QA and business analysts.
I have also worked with security and identity-related features such as Single Sign-On and access management using Keycloak. In addition, I have experience optimizing high-load services and rewriting legacy modules in Golang to improve performance.
I am familiar with modern backend tools and workflows including Docker, Git, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, Symfony, and PHPUnit. I value structured development, best practices, and maintainable code.
I am based in Saint Petersburg, have work authorization for Russia and Uzbekistan, and am available for remote work. I speak Russian natively and English at an intermediate level, and I am prepared for asynchronous collaboration in a remote team.
